"The journey from the-world-as-it-should-be to a conception of the-world-as-it-could-be in the event of a global epidemic of common sense and fellowship, is a recapitulation of the evolutionary journey of the brain from newt to neocortex. Not everyone undertakes it. Not everyone wants to undertake it. But if you were born into apartheid and you lived to see the end of it, you wouldn’t have had a choice. You would have undertaken it: willingly, reluctantly, or kicking and screaming all the way. But in one way or another you would have been changed."
This is some of the most evocative writing I have ever come across. Thank your for your clarity of vision.
Brilliant! Just brilliant. Wonderful thinking writing stirring and storytelling. The English Country House… I’m off for a stroll around Wimbledon, looking for bougainvillea

A master of your craft. Superbly written Gordon.
Thoroughly enjoying this Gordon. You are taking me back to my childhood - it is bittersweet. Thank you,
Wendy
I'm very flattered, Rod. So kind of you, thank you.
Very evocative and beautifully descriptive.
